ComingSoon's Brandon Schreur spoke to Nick Park and Merlin Crossingham about the new Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl movie.
, the latter of whom is also known for creating Wallace & Gromit. Crossingham and Park discussed bringing back Feathers McGraw for“Aardman’s four-time Academy Award-winning director Nick Park and Emmy Award-nominated Merlin Crossingham return with a brand new epic adventure, Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl,” the synopsis for the movie reads.
Sure. I know that, nine times out of ten, nobody ever makes a movie trying to get awards, but what was your reaction when you got in there? Was it a huge surprise?But it is exciting. It is exciting. You say you don’t make the movie , but when you get the nomination, oh my goodness what a bonus is that. It really is — it’s lifted everyone here, as well, the whole crew. Our names are at the top of the list, but everybody within the studio kind of gets a lift and a buzz from it as well.
No, it’s super exciting, so congratulations again. I’m excited to talk to you about this movie, Vengeance Most Fowl. I’m curious about where the ideas from this came from and how long you’ve been working on it. I know Wallace & Gromit has been around since the 90s, but it’s been a minute since we’ve had the last feature film, Curse of the Were-Rabbit. How long have you been trying to get this made?Well, it goes back quite a ways.
There was a lot of evolution to that idea. Every time I pitched it, it seemed like there was something lacking. It just seemed like tech going wrong isn’t enough, it needed some kind of sinister motive. A character that is more sinister and more personal. That’s where Feathers McGraw was the perfect answer to the problem, really. He has this history with Wallace & Gromit. They helped put him in prison in the zoo 30 years ago.
Sure. I saw a lot of that excitement, too, and I was one of the people championing it. He’s just so much fun. I really want to talk to you about the third act of this movie, too. I love the stop-motion medium, in general, but seeing you guys go crazy with it — I mean, there’s a long chase sequence involving cars, motorcycles, boats, and trains. It’s so much and it’s all so cool to look at. I’m curious about what the process of making something like that is when it’s on such a big scale.
